Irene Hoyt, Jesse Hoyt's eccentric daughter,
and her lawyer, have been here for several
weeks. They kept their business quiet until
Last evening, when they he'd a reception at
the Bancroft House for all the citizens.
Preachers, politicians, and lawyers were
there, and Miss Hoyt was the life Of the
assembly. She talked fluently and we'll,
related anecdotes of travel, and finally
turned upon business matters. She dilate1
upon her recent purchases OF lands in
Florida, and talked as eloquentIy as a
land shark or q real estate agent. After
two hours OF agreeable intercourse Miss
Hoyt, with her lawyer, E. {. Carrigan of
Boston, explained why Miss Hoyt's relations
assert that she is insane. They want to get
control of her property and her person. The
object of their visit here was to get an honest
expression of opinion. Not a man but spoke
up promptly, declaring that Miss Hoyt was
one of the most interesting and vivacious
women that had ever visited Saginaw. Mr..
CaTrigan took the!r names for future refer
ence, or probably with the purpose having

TO try Miss Hoyt's sanity. This morning the
